Hjelp Me Opp
Øyvind Weiseth Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

E har så mykju kjærlighet
Som e ikkje vil dæl
Færr kvar gång e prøva så bli det fæl

E byttja fred mot ærlighet
Men e e tom
Følge det opp med å føl me dum

Du dømme me
E gjømme me
Du tar me me
Å e drar de ned
Forklare me alltid me tomme ord

Så hjelp me opp en siste gang
For no træng e det faktisk
En skammekrok, en klagesang
Så overdramatisk
Hjelp me opp en siste gang
E træng de no
Hjelp me i gang te e glømme ho

Som vanlig har e våkenatt
Har lyst på en sigg
Men klokka e fire her må e ligg

Ho driv i vind
Men ho e bære ettj minne
E pusta ho inn
E sjer ho i blinde
E ho like hjemsøkt som e e no?

Så hjelp me opp en siste gang
For no træng e d faktisk
En skammekrok, en klagesang
Så overdramatisk
Ååh, hjelp me opp en siste gang
E træng de no

Hjelp me i gang te e glømme ho
Hjelp me i gang te e glømme ho
